Tonka

Tonka is the Dakota-Sioux Indians word for Big or Great! On November 23, 1955, Mound Metalcraft changed its name to Tonka Toys Incorporated. The logo at this time was an oval, showing the Tonka Toys name in red above waves, presumably honoring nearby Lake Minnetonka. The impact of the Tonka truck concept has been enduring and pervasive, especially the Mighty Dump Truck and associated "Mighty" line of construction equipment models introduced from 1964. The all-metal "Tonka trucks" were sold throughout the world and earned a reputation as being indestructible, although the steel has been increasingly replaced by plastic from the late 1980s onwards. Tonka also produced an ongoing line of smaller scale vehicles, all with the rugged endurance of the larger models. The company was purchased by Hasbro in 1991.
